Admin open to six-week rush delay amid Greek life backlash

WSU administrators say they are open to a six-week delay for rush for first-year students, instead of the semester long delay initially proposed. Despite Greek row’s public protest denouncing The Student Belonging and Success Initiative, it will continue to move forward and is expected to take effect some time next year. This initiative aims to provide students more time to explore campus life without the pressure of committing to anything. “We’re rethinking how we do the initial welcome week experience and the experience people have when they come in. The current model isn’t working,” Provost Chris Riley-Tilman said. The initiative is still in development and subject to change with many of its aspects to be modifiable in the future. “We’re very open if they want to do it in October,” Riley-Tilman said.
